Out of the 18,000 health facilities dotted around the country, only 1,446 have so far secured the licence to operate from HeFRA, according to 3news reports.

The LEKMA Hospital in Teshie and Gokals Opticals were among the facilities visited which had not yet applied for the HeFRA licence.

Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital had initiated the process but was yet to conclude to receive the licence. CEO of the hospital Dr. Daniel Asare was optimistic his outfit will meet the deadline for accreditation.
